Circular motion subject to external alignment under active driving: nonlinear dynamics and the circle map

Andreas M. Menzel

Hardly any real self-propelling or actively driven object is perfect. Thus, undisturbed motion will generally not follow straight lines but rather circular trajectories. We here ad…

The role of boundaries for displacements and motion in two-dimensional fluid or elastic films and membranes

Tyler Lutz, Sonja K. Richter, Andreas M. Menzel

Thin fluid or elastic films and membranes are found in nature and technology, for instance, as confinements of living cells or in loudspeakers. When applying a net force, resulting…

Density functional approach to elastic properties of three-dimensional dipole-spring models for magnetic gels

Segun Goh, Andreas M. Menzel, René Wittmann +1

Magnetic gels are composite materials, consisting of a polymer matrix and embedded magnetic particles. Those are mechanically coupled to each other, giving rise to the magnetostric…

A group theoretical approach to elasticity under constraints and predeformations

Segun Goh, Hartmut Löwen, Andreas M. Menzel

Respecting deformational constraints and predeformations poses a substantial challenge in the description of nonlinear elasticity. We here outline how group theory can play a benef…

Statistics for an object actively driven by spontaneous symmetry breaking into reversible directions

Andreas M. Menzel

Propulsion of otherwise passive objects is achieved by mechanisms of active driving. We concentrate on cases in which the direction of active drive is subject to spontaneous symmet…

Elastic deformations of loaded core-shell systems

Jannis Kolker, Lukas Fischer, Andreas M. Menzel +1

Macroscopic elastic core-shell systems can be generated as toy models to be deformed and haptically studied by hand. On the mesoscale, colloidal core-shell particles and microgels…
